~ ~Poetry by Shirley Allard~

Survival

I wish that there was something I could say
to make you stay
Or something I could do to help renew
our yesterday
But nothing seems enough it’s oh so tough
to know you’re gone
It’s time to pull away, embrace today
and carry on.

And still your memory haunts me
like a lover lost in lust
it’s forever there and taunts me
but is not enough, I trust
to rescue us.
